Day 9: Disk Fragmenter

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Nim

Wrote ugly-ass code today, but it was surprisingly easy to debug and fast.

Solution:
Part 1: Parse data into a sequence of blocks and empty space like in example (I use -1 for empty space) and two indexes. First index goes 0 -> end, second index starts at the end. When we encounter empty space -> we use value from second index and decrement it (while skipping empty spaces). Repeat until both indexes meet at some point.

Part 2: Parse data into sequence of block objects and try to insert each data block into each empty space block before it. Somehow it all just worked without too many bugs.

Runtime (final version): 123 ms

type
  BlockKind = enum Data, Space
  Block = object
    size: int
    case kind: BlockKind
    of Data:
      index: int
    of Space:
      discard

func parseBlocks(input: string): tuple[blocks: seq[Block], id: int] =
  for i, c in input:
    let digit = c.ord - '0'.ord
    if i mod 2 == 0:
      result.blocks.add Block(kind: Data, size: digit, index: result.id)
      if i < input.high: inc result.id
    else:
      result.blocks.add Block(kind: Space, size: digit)

proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
  block p1:
    var memBlocks = newSeqOfCap[int](100_000)

    var indBlock = 0
    for i, c in input:
      let digit = c.ord - '0'.ord
      if i mod 2 == 0:
        memBlocks.add (indBlock).repeat(digit)
        inc indBlock
      else:
        memBlocks.add -1.repeat(digit)

    var ind = 0
    var revInd = memBlocks.high
    while ind <= revInd:
      if memBlocks[ind] == -1:
        while memBlocks[revInd] == -1: dec revInd
        result.part1 += ind * memBlocks[revInd]
        dec revInd
      else:
        result.part1 += ind * memBlocks[ind]
      inc ind

  block p2:
    var (memBlocks, index) = parseBlocks(input)
    var revInd = memBlocks.high
    while revInd > 0:
      doAssert memBlocks[revInd].kind == Data

      var spaceInd = -1
      let blockSize = memBlocks[revInd].size
      for ind in 0..revInd:
        if memBlocks[ind].kind == Space and memBlocks[ind].size >= blockSize:
          spaceInd = ind; break

      if spaceInd != -1:
        let bSize = memBlocks[revInd].size
        let diffSize = memBlocks[spaceInd].size - bSize
        swap(memBlocks[spaceInd], memBlocks[revInd])
        if diffSize != 0:
          memBlocks[revInd].size = bSize
          memBlocks.insert(Block(kind: Space, size: diffSize), spaceInd + 1)
          inc revInd # shift index bc we added object

      dec index
      # skip space blocks and data blocks with higher index
      while (dec revInd; revInd < 0 or
             memBlocks[revInd].kind != Data or
             memBlocks[revInd].index != index): discard

    var unitIndex = 0
    for b in memBlocks:
      case b.kind
      of Data:
        for _ in 1..b.size:
          result.part2 += unitIndex * b.index
          inc unitIndex
      of Space:
        unitIndex += b.size

Not a lot of time to come up with a pretty solution today; sorry.

Ugly first solution
import Data.List
import Data.Maybe
import Data.Sequence (Seq)
import Data.Sequence qualified as Seq

readInput :: String -> Seq (Maybe Int, Int)
readInput =
  Seq.fromList
    . zip (intersperse Nothing $ map Just [0 ..])
    . (map (read . singleton) . head . lines)

expand :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> [Maybe Int]
expand = concatMap (uncurry $ flip replicate)

compact :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> Seq (Maybe Int, Int)
compact chunks =
  case Seq.spanr (isNothing . fst) chunks of
    (suffix, Seq.Empty) -> suffix
    (suffix, chunks' Seq.:|> file@(_, fileSize)) ->
      case Seq.breakl (\(id, size) -> isNothing id && size >= fileSize) chunks' of
        (_, Seq.Empty) -> compact chunks' Seq.>< file Seq.<| suffix
        (prefix, (Nothing, gapSize) Seq.:<| chunks'') ->
          compact $ prefix Seq.>< file Seq.<| (Nothing, gapSize - fileSize) Seq.<| chunks'' Seq.>< (Nothing, fileSize) Seq.<| suffix

part1, part2 :: Seq (Maybe Int, Int) -> Int
part1 input =
  let blocks = dropWhileEnd isNothing $ expand input
      files = catMaybes blocks
      space = length blocks - length files
      compacted = take (length files) $ fill blocks (reverse files)
   in sum $ zipWith (*) [0 ..] compacted
  where
    fill (Nothing : xs) (y : ys) = y : fill xs ys
    fill (Just x : xs) ys = x : fill xs ys
part2 = sum . zipWith (\i id -> maybe 0 (* i) id) [0 ..] . expand . compact

main = do
  input <- readInput <$> readFile "input09"
  print $ part1 input
  print $ part2 input

    >>> partitionEithers
    >>> filter ((> 0) . snd . snd) *** Map.filter (> 0) . Map.fromAscList

checksum :: Layout -> Int
checksum = sum . map (\(id, (pos, len)) -> id * len * (2 * pos + len - 1) `div` 2) . fst

compact :: (Int -> Int -> Bool) -> Layout -> Layout
compact select (files, spaces) = foldr moveFile ([], spaces) files
  where
    moveFile file@(fileId, (filePos, fileLen)) (files, spaces) =
      let candidates = Map.assocs $ fst . Map.split filePos $ spaces
       in case find (select fileLen . snd) candidates of
            Just (spacePos, spaceLen) ->
              let spaces' = Map.delete spacePos spaces
               in if spaceLen >= fileLen

                      )
                    else

                        ((fileId, (spacePos, spaceLen)) : files, spaces')
            Nothing -> (file : files, spaces)

It will always be a wonder to me how you manage to do so much in so few lines, even your naive solution only takes a few seconds to run. ๐Ÿคฏ

Aww, thank you <3

Itโ€™s just practice, I guess? (The maths degree probably doesnโ€™t hurt either)
